Knicks · Who actually makes the final decison for this draft process? (page 1)

Is there a vote?
Is it Isiah/Dolan chiming in at last moment wit their pick or move?
Does Phil really have any say?
Seems like there are 65 voices and the last one is the dumbest.

Isiah

I think it will be Isiah/Dolan. Isiah is a hell of a talent evaluator. I would trust him a lot more then Phill/Fisher

Real world - I think Phil makes the final call. Isiah is waiting in the wings should Phil fail this summer.

Isiah shouldve been just a scouting and talent advisor. ...we wouldnt be in this position right now. Dolan needs to create a sandbox for him....something phil agrees to......keep him from roaming.

There is Zero chances of Isiah ever running the knicks or any NBA team ever. The league won't approve it and any owner knows it would be a P R Nightmare.

HMM if he can become President of a WNBA team than he can do the same thing for the NBA unless the NBA wants to get sued harshly.

Why wouldn't the league want Isiah? He has not done anything wrong

Other then being in the middle of the most embarrassing sexual harassment suit a sports franchise has ever seen, and running the knicks it to cap hell, he's been great

The WNBA ??? I know people that would prefer to watch paint dry. Outside of Isiah, do you even know any of the WNBA GMS/PRES, do you even care..

Dolan even basically said the reason he hired Isiah to run the Liberty was to get people talking about the Liberty. He's an ass, but he was right about that. Broken clocks are right twice a day and all that.

I think this is a easy choice that i'm 100% confident that Phil is not only making this pick but running everything he says he's running. Haven't you guys payed attention over Phil's coaching years of how big a ego he really has and how stubborn he is?? That's why he couldn't get along with J.West in LA. Phil wouldn't be doing this job in New York if he didn't really have full control.

Not only will he be back in the NBA but he'll be running the Knicks again.

Law suit? Yes, but he did not hurt the Knicks cap. It has been bad for an eternity

Worse, he destroyed the Knicks credibility around the league. In 2002, if we'd had max cap space, we could've gotten Chris Webber. In 2010 when Donnie and MDA did the work to get that cap space, none of the real elite talent in the league even considered the Knicks. Amar'e came because we guaranteed five years... to be fair to him, he did completely embrace the challenge of restoring the Knicks to prominence, which no one else would do.

He did not destroy the Knicks, James Dolan did

the cap went south the minute we traded Ewings expiring contract in 2000 for a ton of salary..then layden brings in scubs and pay them like they were all stars, and IT followed suit. So i don't want to say it's been an eternity, but Isiah was definitely the ICING on the cake.

I don't get the dolan destroying the knicks part, he hired some highly respected ppl, they just never did their jobs right and were completely irresponsible with the money they had access to.

If you give your 3 children (graduating college) amex black cards and 1 decided to buy drugs with it and ruin their life and run the family into a financial crisis, how much blame can you place on the parent if he just wanted the best for his children, and none of them had a history of drug abuse.

Thats how i look at dolan
